UNSPSC 50533700: Dried non GMO guavas

The type of non GMO fruit known as non GMO guavas that has been dried for preservation. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50533700 Dried non-GMO guavas is a Class code that does not match the state and local procurement activity in the source. The recent opportunities show no solicitations for dried guavas or any dried fruit products; instead, they span fresh produce, grocery staples, meal preparation and delivery, and food service supply contracts across school districts, county nutrition programs, and municipal agencies. The source records twelve state and local solicitations, none naming dried guavas as a line item or procurement focus. The code's narrow commodity scope — a single dried fruit variety with specific non-GMO designation — aligns with fresh-produce and general-grocery procurement only by category, not by actual buying pattern.

The recent activity clusters overwhelmingly in school nutrition procurement across state departments and school districts in Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and Virginia, with ancillary opportunities in senior meal services and municipal catering. Representative solicitations include Fairfax County Public Schools' Master Grocery K-12 (IFB 2000004323, due April 27, 2026) seeking food delivery to 45 schools and seven distribution kitchens; Douglas County School System's Food Supply and Distribution Services (RFP 26-003, due February 18, 2026) with an estimated annual expenditure of approximately $9 million serving 25,500 students across 32 schools; Meriden Public Schools' commercial groceries and USDA Foods procurement (RFP 026-41, due February 25, 2026) with an anticipated contract value of approximately $3.1 million; and Hancock County Board of Education's Fresh Produce for school year 2026-27 (IFB SN002-2027, due June 26, 2026). These contracts emphasize Buy American compliance, HACCP food safety programs, nutritional standards, and firm-fixed pricing with no fuel surcharges. The code shows little relevant recent activity for a vendor pursuing dried-fruit procurement opportunities in state and local markets.
